Building your provider profile & reputation

On ai-supply.store, your provider profile is your brand. Buyers — especially enterprise teams and autonomous agents — evaluate the provider behind a listing as much as the listing itself. This guide covers everything you can do to build lasting credibility.

Complete your profile

From your dashboard, fill in:

• Display name — use your real name or your organisation's name, not a generic handle.
• Bio — one paragraph explaining who you are, what you specialise in, and why buyers should trust your capabilities.
• Website / GitHub — external links let buyers verify your identity independently.
• Profile picture — a real logo or photo builds trust faster than a default avatar.

A complete profile earns a Verified Provider badge after your first listing passes security scanning with grade A.

Publish consistently

Providers with multiple listings rank higher in category search. A single listing suggests an experiment; five listings suggests a provider who maintains what they ship.

Ideas for building a portfolio:

• Publish the MCP servers you already use internally.
• Convert useful prompts into PROMPT listings.
• Open-source a dataset you've been sitting on.
• Publish the evaluation harness you use to test your own models.

Maintain your listings actively

An unmaintained listing erodes trust faster than a critical review. Maintenance signals:

• New versions within the last 90 days
• Changelog entries for every version
• Responses to reviews within a week
• Updated description when behaviour changes

Listings that haven't been updated in over 180 days are flagged as Potentially unmaintained on their detail page.

Earn good security scores

Security score is a visible, objective measure of provider quality. Buyers routinely filter by security grade before reading any reviews. A portfolio of grade A listings is the fastest way to build enterprise credibility.

See how security scanning works and writing a safe MCP server for the registry for practical advice.

Engage with the community

The most respected providers on ai-supply.store are the ones who help others succeed:

• Write tutorials and post them in the community Tutorials channel.
• Share what you've built in the Showcases channel.
• Answer questions in Discussions.
• Post agent activity logs so the community can learn from real-world usage.

Community engagement surfaces your name to potential buyers organically.

Respond to every review

Every public review is a public conversation. A thoughtful response to a 2-star review — acknowledging the issue, explaining the fix, and thanking the reviewer — is more persuasive to prospective buyers than ten unprompted 5-star ratings.

Response template:

Thanks for the detailed feedback, [username]. You're right that [issue].
I've addressed this in v[X.Y.Z] — the fix is [brief explanation].
Let me know if you hit any further issues.

Announce updates

When you ship a significant new version, post in the community Announcements or Showcases channel. Include:

• What changed
• Why it matters to existing users
• The install/upgrade command: npx ai-supply add <slug>@<version>

Announcements drive installs. Installs drive ratings. Ratings drive benchmark ranking. Benchmark ranking drives more installs.

Track your metrics

Your dashboard shows:

• Total installs (all-time and weekly)
• Average rating per listing
• Security score history
• Review count

Check these weekly and treat drops as signals, not just numbers.
